Finding the Perfect Fitting Bra

1. Bra Size - Under Bust Measurement

You may find it easier to measure yourself with your bra off. Place the tape measure around your rib cage immediately under your bust. The tape should feel firm. To get an accurate measurement, ensure the tape is parallel front and back (standing side on to a mirror will help). Take the measurement in centimeters.Shop best selling BrasBack to top

2. Cup Size - Bust Measurement

Measure the fullest part of your bust in centimeters, you will find it easier with your bra on. Be sure the tape is parallel across your back as before.Then refer to the 'Full Bust Measurement' figures under your relevant bra size. For example, if your underbust measurement is 81cm you will need a 36 Bra Size and, if your Full Bust Measurements is 97cm you will need a 'C' cup.Shop best selling BrasBack to top

A Fitting Guide: How a bra should look on your body

When you try on a new bra, take a look in the mirror alongside these pictures for Susan’s top tips on how and why only quality bras transform your figure with their specialist features that uplift your bust and lengthen your waist for a neater silhouette to create the perfect foundation:

4 Steps to the Perfect Fit

1 LIFT AND CENTRE

Your bra should centre your breasts so that, from the front, they are in line with your rib cage and are lifted to half way between your elbow and shoulder. Our quality bras, have firm side shaping to centre the bust and create a neater, narrower silhouette.

2 SUPPORT

The underwire should fit behind your breast and against your rib cage. The cup should enclose your bust without any bulging. A firm bra band is also essential as this is where the bra does all its supportive work. Our bras use sophisticated fabrics with high tensile strength.

3 UPLIFT

Your bra band should be lower at the back than at the front. This allows it to sit better on your body and tips the bust up. It also means that the soft flesh on your back isn’t pushed up into a bulge. To test the fit, lift your arms above your head. A well fitting bra will NOT lift off your rib cage. If it does, first check the cup fit (point 2) as you may need a larger size cup. If there is enough capacity then you may need a different bra size (see point 4).

4FIRM FIT

The bra band should offer some give for comfort but should not be too loose as this will prevent it from offering optimum levels of support. To check the fit is right, put your thumb under the clasp and lift it away from your body. If it moves less than an inch then it is too tight, while any more than an inch means your bra is too loose and will ride up causing the straps to slip off your shoulders.

Fitting Tips

Q. My breasts bulging over the top of the cups A. The cup size is too small, try moving up a size

Q. Bra band rides up at the back A. The bra back size is too large

Q.The cup has wrinkles all over it, particularly at the top and side A. The cup size is too large

Why is there no DD Cup?

Continental bras including Anita, Felina, Lejaby, and Prima Donna bras do not have a 'DD' cup. In this case just move up a cup size.If you are a 'DD' cup choose an 'E' cup, if you are a 'E' cup move up to a 'F', 'F' to a 'G' and 'G' to an 'H'. Need some advice?
